turns official and unofficial, from sixty
out OF the eighty.six organized counties in
the territory. These foot up 80, ,SO3 for
division and 81, 700 against division, or a
total OF 81, ,599yotes. The twenty six conn
ties. sixteen north and and ten south OF the
46th parallel, not yet heard from cast in
1885 for delegate "a ,809 votes. Reckoning
that one.hali tho vote was polled in ths
ten southern.. counties and one.third the
vote in tho sixteen northern counties. and
We have 1o.29s votes as the probable
vote on the division question to be add
ed to the above figures. Tho northern
counties being largely opposed to di.
vision, it is sale to estimate that the
official canvass will show that II
these twenty-six counties cast 10,292
votes, % least 5000 will be against
division and 5000 ior division, This will
make the total vote on division in the ter.

there were 1Q4, ,S12 votes cast Tor delegate.
